Clarity on sick stages

[Graham21]

Hello might be a bit of a stupid one I’m just looking for some clarity regarding sick pay when on it triggers stage warnings I know it’s 4 absences or 14 days in 12 months but what are 4 absences ? Eg if I was off mon tues wed thurs and went in Friday Saturday would this class as 4 absences or 1 absence 4 days ?

Stage one will be triggered with 4 separate absences or 14 days total.
If you are off Monday,Tuesday,Weds Thursday return to Friday that would be classed as one absence.

Important to remember Non working days are also counted as sick leave.
Ie if you’ve taken a full week off Sunday would be counted even though you never Sundays.

I think it is 14 days off. Which was not previously the case. So I you take a week off, after 6 months you should be OK if you take 6 days off, then after 6 months you can take 7 days off.

But I'd gone 7 months without sick so I should have come off my stage 1
